Apocalyptic Raids

Hellhammer were a metal band from Switzerland that are credited as being pioneers of extreme metal and the black metal genre, along with Venom and Bathory, in the early 1980’s.

Formed by Tom G Warrior and Martin Eric Ain (who went on to form Celtic Frost), Apocalyptic Raids was originally released in 1984 and is a cult classic that is revered as a hugely influential release that laid the blueprint for extreme metal as a whole.
